Lotus Solo Max Trumpet!
LotusThe Amazing Lotus Solo Max Trumpet!
Wow! What an amazing horn with a huge palette of tonal and dynamic colors!!! It is great for soloists looking to bring as much depth and body to their sound as possible, with a predisposition toward playing warm and sweet. This bell has a large taper throughout, which makes it great for producing a broader sound. Lotus machines their own leadpipes to ensure accuracy of proper taper and wall thickness, which they say results in superior note targeting, accuracy and enriches your sound.
What Lotus says:
This horn produces a full-bodied sound, complete with shiny overtones and remarkable warmth in all registers, at all dynamics. It’s ideal for soloists who prefer an oversized-bell horn and want the biggest trumpet sound possible.
We do not recommend this horn for Orchestral players or Lead players. The sound is simply too large to match conventional trumpets in a section.
-
With a deeper mouthpiece, like the XL or XL2 cup, you gain access to an incredibly fat and creamy tone quality.
-
Our M & M2 cups pair very well with this horn, adding shimmering fireworks, while the horn applies a filter of deep, saturated tone color.
-
With our S, XS & XS2 cups, this horn becomes a beast, giving you an enormous sound for exciting upper-register solos.
This horn plays with great stability and agility, and gives you wings to musically go places you’d never even dare to venture with most oversized-bell horns. Played by LOTUS Artists Derrick Gardner, Kris Johnson and Jojo Streater.
